The Dream Syndicate presented by Goodlive Artists Austria

The Dream Syndicate will perform their visceral 1984 album Medicine Show on tour in the US and Europe, beginning in November 2025 and carrying through March 2026.

The tour will coincide with a reissue of Medicine Show — now expanded into a 4-CD set featuring 42 songs, including 29 previously unreleased performances (live and studio) from 1983–84. A vinyl LP will also be released on the band’s own Down There label, distributed by Fire Records.

This will be the first time the band has played Medicine Show in its entirety, following on the heels of their successful 2022 tour for The Days of Wine and Roses.

Each concert will open with a set of new material, drawn from the four reunion albums the band has released since 2017. After a short intermission, the band will perform Medicine Show — heralded as one of the 40 best rock albums ever by The Guardian. Notably, the album has been out of print in all formats for decades.

The reissue arrives after an intense and lengthy legal battle, which concluded with the band winning back the rights to the album. They’ll be signing copies at the merch table after each show.

The Dream Syndicate burst onto the LA scene in 1982 as leaders of the Paisley Underground movement, becoming key figures in the post-punk and new wave American indie scene. Four albums and countless tours followed before the band disbanded in 1988. They reunited in 2012.

The core members — Steve Wynn, Dennis Duck, and Mark Walton — are now joined by Jason Victor (of Steve Wynn & the Miracle 3) on guitar and Chris Cacavas (formerly of Green on Red) on keyboards, forming the current enduring lineup.
